GeolocationApp

This is a prototype for a mobile geolocation app developed in Unity. The app generates a point of interest (gps coordinates) 200m away from the user. It displays the direction to the point with an arrow (like a compass) and vibrates when the user arrives within 10m from the point.

Notes

In the Editor, you can change the value of these variables:

For the GPS script (attached to the GPS component)

• isMagneticNorth : Use the Magnetic North if checked.
• NewCoordinatesDistance : Upon's app initialization, spawn the new coordinates at specified distance (in meters).

For the UI script (attached to the Canvas component)

• distanceThreshold : Notifies the user when he is at the specified distance (in meters) or less from the target location.
• numberOfDecimals : Number of decimals displayed for GPS coordinates

Android version

Available on the dev branch. The .apk file is provided at the root.

iOS version
